Fried Dill Pickles

In honor of my earlier Pickle Lady post, I thought I would post this recipe. It is one of the many I collected for a website I planned to build if the Pickle Lady's book had been published. I've never tried it although it sounds as good as Fried Green Tomatoes. Let me know how it turns out if you make it.

Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Make a well in center; add water, egg yolk and pickle juice, all at once. Stir with wire whisk to make a smooth batter. Cover bowl and refrigerate 30 minutes.Heat at least 2 inches of oil in deep fryer or large saucepan to 375ºF. In batches, dip pickle slices in the batter to coat evenly and lightly. Fry without crowding in hot oil until golden and crisp, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve at once. Makes about 8 servings as an appetizer or side dish.
